NELSAP New England Lost Ski Areas Project

[Yooper]

For any of you interested in some of the Ski Areas that have closed over the years. I must be getting old, I've skied many of them.

We gush over NELSAP here too.

I'd like to view your site, Josh, but I get an "unavailable at this time message." Can you remedy it?

I also have a site which has ski brochures from the past. I just picked up a brochure from Chickley Alps which I will try to get on the site this weekend. My site is http://teachski.com . I am sure you will find some old brochures from areas you skied that are no longer open as well as some older brochures from areas that are still open. I also have some other ski memorabilia and a few articles on the site.

Disclaimer:
My site is not meant in anyway to compete with NELSAP, but rather to enhance what they have there with additional information including areas that are still in operation. Some materials I have contributed to NELSAP in the past also appear on my site. Additional information I got after my association with NELSAP ceased appears only on my site although I have offered it to them for use.

You're referring to the link in the old AZ topic that I referenced earlier in this topic. That site is old and it won't be coming back. But thanks for your interest.

Thank you! I love to share. I also have several people who have contributed to my site. Their names are on top of the page for each thing they have contributed. I am always looking for new things to put on the site. Right now, I have a whole shoe box of things waiting to go on. I had a rough summer (had some sort of virus) and didn't get much on at all. I'm better now, but I am also back to school (work).

Camped at White Lake State Park this weekend and saw the old Mt. Whittier in West Ossipee. I really enjoyed the NELSAP write-up. I wish I was a bit more observant though. We were at McDonald's getting my daughter a happy meal on the way home, but I never noticed the gondola tower in the parking lot... :blink:

 

[teachski]

Wow! Did you have your eyes closed Greg?

Here are some more pictures taken 2 winters ago when they were trying to open it as Mount Madness. I don't know if they attempted this past winter. http://teachski.com/Areas/whittier.htm

I found that on your site. I must be blind. As a matter of fact, I did not have my contacts in at that point (wife was driving). I don't know that I would have noticed it anyway as I would never have expected to see a lift tower there as I was concentrating on the grown-in slopes and gondi line....

By the way, that gondi line looks like it could've been one insane run. Did they used to ski that?

 

[teachski]

No, I don't believe that it was officially a run. Of course we all know that does not mean that people didn't ski it.

I do not think they ever had that "listed" as a trail. It would be pretty sic.
